EDMONTON, Kanada (Oktober 4, 2017) – The spotlight shifts back to the super division for hierdie Saterdag World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) tournament when International Boxing Organization (IBO) Super Middelgewig wêreldkampioen Chris “volgende Gen” Eubank Jr. defends his title against undefeated challenger Avni “Mnr. Robot” Yildirim in quarterfinals action, airing live in Canada exclusively on Super Channel from Hanns-Martin-Schleyer in Stuttgart, Duitsland.
Die “Eubank Jr. vs. Yildirm” kaart, begin by 2 namiddag. EN / 11 voormiddag. PT,keeps Canadian boxing fans at ringside during the entire $50-million WBSS tournament, live this weekend from Germany and exclusively on Super Channel, which acquired the rights in Canada to broadcast the World Boxing Super Series from MP & Silva, 'n vooraanstaande internasionale media maatskappy wat media regte bied, digitale, tegnologie en borgskap dienste.
The 28-year-old Eubank Jr. (25-1, 19 Uitklophoue), fighting out of the United Kingdom, is managed by his father, Chris “Simply The Best” Eubank (45-5-2, 23 Uitklophoue), who is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO super middleweight champion.
In 2015, Eubank Jr. gestop Tony Jeter (20-4-1) in the second round to capture the Interim World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight crown. Eubank Jr. captured his IBO title this past February, klop uit Renold Quinlan (11-0) in die 10ste ronde. In his most recent action, the skilled Brit won a 12-round unanimous decision over multiple world champion Arthur Abraham (46-5) in his first and only world title defense to date.
“This is the first fight for me in this tournament and I am here to make a statement,” Eubank Jr. gesê. “I am the man; I’m the man to beat. There will be no mercy for Yildirim. I am here to win, I am not here to make friends. I am not here to look pretty and be a celebrity, I am here in this tournament to become the champion.
I am very much looking forward to this fight. I think it is a great match-up. Styles make fights and the reason I picked this man at the Draft Gala is that he is a fighter. He comes forward. He is very active, he is very open, he takes risks, which he will pay for this fight. Ek kan nie wag!
“I have a goal. I have a challenge that I have to complete and that is to win the Muhammad Ali Trophy and prove that I am the best in the world.”
Upset-minded Yildirim (16-0, 10 Uitklophoue). 26, is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) International Silver super middleweight champion, which he originally captured two years ago, taking a 10-round decision from former world champion Glen Johnson (54-20-2). Yidirim has successfully defended his title five times against Janne Forsman(KO1), Walter Sequeira (17-2), Jackson Junior (KO2), Schiller Hyppolite (TKO3),Aliaksandr Sushchyts (KO12) en Marco Antonio Periban (DEC12).
“This tournament is a chance for me to fight the best in the world,” Yildirim commented. “It is an honor for me. I am here to destroy everyone in the tournament. I am not an Instagram or Facebook fighter like Eubank Jr. I am Avni Yildirim and I am here to destroy. I will do anything to win this fight and win this tournament. Ek voel goed. Ek is baie bereid. Let’s fight!”
